Chapter 27: Treasure Hunt at Night, Recruiting People to Join
What caught her eye was a stone with a pointed end. She thought the stone had to be moved aside, so she used all her strength to pry it up, only to find that there was something under the stone.
It was a gray jar half buried in the soil.
Her heart was pounding. She looked around and saw that everyone was working and no one was looking at her.
She remembered a rumor that the aunts had told her on the way to work.
It is said that several decades ago, there was a big landlord in the village. During the war, he divided his family's gold and silver into dozens of jars and buried them in various corners of the village.
They also said that there was a jar buried in the wasteland where they were working today.
The aunts joked that the team leader might have heard the rumor as well, which was why he cleared the land and turned it over to see if the rumor was true.
Countless thoughts flashed through Song Shuyan's mind. Finally, she calmly put the stone back to its original position and covered it with soil.
It’s better to have less trouble than more.
I'll find a chance to dig it out in the evening to see what's in the jar.
Thank you for the gift of nature!
The night was deep and the breathing sounds in the room were gentle. Song Shuyan slowly opened his eyes.
She looked at the wooden window that was ajar. The darkness was so invasive that it rushed towards her. She began to retreat.
Otherwise, forget it.
That piece of wasteland was quite far away from the educated youth site. How could she feel that she had the courage to come here alone to dig for treasure at night?
If she didn't dig it out, she would feel itchy and unwilling to give up. She really wanted to know whether the jar contained the landlord's wealth.
After thinking for a while, she decided to drag her good friend Qin Fei into the water.
"Wake up!" She got out of bed and walked to Qin Fei's bed and pushed her gently.
Qin Fei opened his eyelids and glanced at her, then snorted in dissatisfaction, "What are you doing!"
Song Shuyan quickly covered her mouth and said, "Shh, be quiet, get up and go somewhere with me."
Qin Fei was even more dissatisfied, and turned over and ignored her, "I'm not going, go by yourself, you're so old, you still need someone to accompany you to the toilet..."
Song Shuyan pushed her again, "Hurry up and get up! I want to tell you a secret!"
"What secret?" Qin Fei sobered up a little, "You can tell me now."
Song Shuyan pointed outside the house and said, "Let's talk outside."
Qin Fei glanced at her doubtfully and asked, "What are you doing? Why are you being so secretive? Why do you want to tell others about it?" In the end, he couldn't convince her any more, so he resigned himself to his fate, put on a coat, and walked out the door with her.
Seeing that she quietly opened the door of the Youth League Home and waved for her to follow, Qin Fei became even more confused. What was she going to do?
What secret should I take her to see?
Catching an adulterer?
She shuddered, not wanting to go or watch, it was too disgusting!
But a pair of legs followed her uncontrollably.
"Tell me, where are you taking me?"
Song Shuyan lowered his voice and said, "I went to the wasteland during the day to open up wasteland. I dug up a jar. There were too many people there during the day, so I didn't dig it out and open it. Now let's go and see what's inside!"
Qin Fei paused, "What if, what if, what if it's an urn? What if? How creepy!"
Song Shuyan shuddered, "Should it be, right?"
She looked around furtively, and a gust of wind blew, giving her arms goose bumps.
"Where are you guys going?"
The sudden sound startled the two of them.
Song Shuyan was shaking and turned back tremblingly. When he saw who was coming, he covered his chest and breathed.
He glared at the person who came over unhappily and said, "Don't you know that scaring others can kill them? You gave me a good fright!"
Qin Fei also felt that the voice sounded particularly familiar.
When I turned around, I met Xue Huaizhou's innocent eyes.
"I heard some noise outside, so I went out and saw you two were out so late at night. I was worried something might have happened to you, so I followed you to check on you."
He glanced around, and in the dark night, he couldn't see his hand in front of him.
These two new female educated youth are really brave to go out at this time.
"Tell me, what are you doing?"
Song Shuyan and Qin Fei looked at each other.
Xue Huaizhou crossed his arms and waited for their answer.
A light bulb lit up above Song Shuyan's head. "What does this have to do with you? Why should I tell you?"
Qin Fei tugged at her arm and said, "Shuyan, how about we take him with us to see it?"
Song Shuyan opened his eyes wide, good idea!
If the buried treasure is really a treasure, she doesn't mind sharing it with one more person, as long as she has a share.
Since there were only two girls going, she was a little scared.
"Well... this is what happened..." They didn't tell him because they suspected that the jar might be an urn.
Xue Huaizhou is also somewhat interested in treasure hunting.
"Then let's go and take a look."
Song Shuyan took a few steps and paused. "Why do I feel like there are other footsteps besides ours?"
She looked behind her and saw nothing.
It's too dark.
I also remembered that the old people said that when walking at night, don’t look back, because looking back will blow out the two yang lamps on your shoulders.
She: "..." So scared! I dare not say it.
Qin Fei pulled her forward and said disapprovingly, "Did you hear wrong?"
Xue Huaizhou also stopped and frowned. There were indeed footsteps following behind him!
He walked forward a few steps calmly, then suddenly turned around and shouted, "Who is it?"
The man seemed startled and chased after him, pushing Xue Huaizhou unconvincedly, "Who are you yelling at? Is this road yours?"
He looked Xue Huaizhou up and down. "I haven't even mentioned you two yet. In the dead of night, a single man and a single woman—ah, no, a single man and two women—where are you going? I recognize you. You're the team leader's future son-in-law. Zhang Mingzhu knows how capable you are. Are you bringing two young women out to play tonight?"
The man who came was a teenager, thin but very strong. He pushed Xue Huaizhou so hard that he staggered.
"Hey, speak more clearly!" Song Shuyan walked back holding Qin Fei's hand.
The young man snorted contemptuously, "What's wrong with what I said? How dare you do it and not let me say it?"
Xue Huaizhou exhaled weakly, "Things are not what you think..."
He made an excuse, "Song Zhiqing discovered she had lost a very important bracelet, and we just accompanied her out to look for it."
Song Shuyan and Qin Fei nodded hurriedly, "Ah, yes! That's it!"
The young man opposite was clearly not someone to be fooled. He didn't believe it and glanced coldly at the three educated youths. "Are you kidding me? Can't you look for your lost item tomorrow? Why do you have to come out in the middle of the night? How can you possibly find it in the dark?"
Xue Huaizhou cleared his cough and looked at Song Shuyan, as if asking with his eyes, "Are you still going if you've been discovered?"
Song Shuyan also had a headache. Who was this half-grown child?
Why are you walking around here instead of sleeping at night?
Aren’t you afraid that you won’t grow taller in the future?
Also, what is he carrying? Why does it look like a homemade rifle?
Good job!
She asked back, "Whose child are you? Why are you out here at night instead of sleeping? What are you carrying?"
